Our Marine Freight Forwarding Services

Cargoburg Logistics provides a full spectrum of marine freight forwarding services to meet the diverse needs of businesses in Nigeria. Whether you’re moving small packages or large, bulky shipments, we have the expertise and resources to handle it all. Below is an overview of the key services we offer:

1. Full Container Load (FCL) Shipping

For businesses with a large amount of cargo, Full Container Load (FCL) is the most efficient and secure option. FCL means that your goods occupy the entire container, ensuring that your cargo is not mixed with other shipments. This offers a range of benefits, including reduced risk of damage and theft, faster delivery, and the ability to customize container sizes.

At Cargoburg, we ensure that all FCL shipments are properly packed, loaded, and sealed. Our team works directly with shipping lines to guarantee timely departures and arrivals, providing you with the best transit times possible.

2. Less-than-Container Load (LCL) Shipping

If your cargo volume is smaller, Less-than-Container Load (LCL) shipping is an excellent option. LCL allows you to share container space with other shipments, reducing costs. Cargoburg carefully consolidates your cargo with other LCL shipments to ensure your goods arrive at the destination safely and on time, without the higher costs of a full container.

3. Project Cargo & Heavy Lift Transport

Cargoburg Logistics has specialized experience in project cargo and heavy lift transport, handling large, over-dimensional, and heavy items such as construction equipment, industrial machinery, and infrastructure components. Our experienced team manages all logistics, from packaging and loading to unloading at the destination.

We coordinate everything from arranging specialized vessels to obtaining necessary permits, ensuring that even the most complex shipments are delivered efficiently and safely.

4. Customs Clearance and Documentation

One of the most crucial aspects of marine freight forwarding is customs clearance. At Cargoburg, we handle all the customs paperwork required for both imports and exports. Our customs brokerage services ensure that your goods meet Nigerian import regulations, minimizing the risk of delays or fines.

We also assist with obtaining all the necessary documents for your shipment, including Bills of Lading, Commercial Invoices, and Packing Lists. With our vast knowledge of Nigerian customs procedures, we ensure smooth clearance at ports.

5. Marine Cargo Insurance

Protecting your cargo during transit is vital, especially for valuable or fragile goods. Cargoburg Logistics offers comprehensive marine cargo insurance to safeguard your shipments against damage, theft, or loss during transport. We guide you through the process of selecting the appropriate insurance coverage for your needs, ensuring peace of mind throughout the journey.

6. Freight Consolidation and Warehousing

We offer freight consolidation services, where we consolidate multiple small shipments into a single larger shipment, reducing transportation costs. Additionally, our warehousing services allow you to store goods in secure facilities before or after they’ve been shipped. This flexibility helps businesses maintain better control over their supply chains.

7. Time-sensitive and Expedited Shipping

For businesses that require time-sensitive shipments, we offer expedited marine freight forwarding services. We understand that sometimes deliveries need to be fast-tracked, and our team works closely with shipping lines to ensure your goods are prioritized for faster delivery.

8. Tracking and Real-time Updates

We provide real-time cargo tracking for all marine freight shipments. Our advanced tracking systems allow you to monitor the status of your cargo at every stage of its journey. With Cargoburg Logistics, you can easily stay informed about your shipment’s progress and anticipated delivery date.
